::::About the Hostel::::

The Govt Hostel for Orthopedically Challenged is the hostel maintained by the government social welfare department. This hostel consists of 90 female students who hail from different districts of AP. The reason for joining this hostel is to pursue their higher education and living in Hyderabad to feed themselves by finding some jobs. All the inmates of the hostel are crippled, physically challenged in different forms and percentages.

W.H.Y. Foundation has been approached by the Matron of the Old Age Home (which we have been supporting since 2008 every month) who has been given an additional charge of this hostel as well.

All these students who are staying in this Hostel would get 500 rupees per month as a pension under disability quota from the government.
